12:51 am

J. C.

Yes! :P

12:51 am

J. C.

Phew - relieved now!

12:51 am

J. C.

Had me going for the moment...

12:51 am

joshuavorbis

i think i accepted - it's been quite awhile since i logged in there though

12:51 am

J. C.

Yes. Peruse my page - and watch me nearly kill myself. :P

12:52 am

J. C.

Tandem skydive...

12:52 am

J. C.

Something I'll never repeat.

12:52 am

joshuavorbis

one of these days i'll try that, i think

12:52 am

J. C.

Erm, I don't recommend it - seriously, it was a horrible experience from start to finish. Especially the finish!

12:53 am

J. C.

I had lovely bruises for a while after...

12:53 am

joshuavorbis

your experience is one of several in the negative among people i have met

12:53 am

joshuavorbis

there have been a lot more positive opinions, though

12:53 am

J. C.

I'll bet...

12:53 am

J. C.

I was terrified, I don't mind telling you.

12:54 am

joshuavorbis

it's ok to be terrified. i experienced pure terror on a ride at the state fair last autumn

12:54 am

J. C.

I had to just do it without thinking - if I thought about it I wasn't going through with it. I knew that!

12:55 am

cybernan

stuck at 13 -- will finish tomorrow. Good night all :)

12:55 am

J. C.

It's reasonable for the first half...

1:15 am

J. C.

1:16 am

J. C.

2:46 am

VolleymomDee

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

aww so sorry.. how is she now?

2:48 am

VolleymomDee

I was miffed our daughter spent part of the day at her boyfriend's parents...

3:00 am

jillibus

3:00 am

westford

3:01 am

jillibus

btw, west, I had a late flip too -- internet went down again, didn't come back until about an hour ago

3:01 am

westford

oh no jilli I thought it was all fixed

3:02 am

jillibus

so did I -- don't know what happened this time

3:02 am

westford

is it your computer or your server?

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

frustrating I am sure

3:03 am

jillibus

not my computer -- I was able to do lots of other stuff, just not online. The connection was kaput.

3:04 am

westford

that sucks

3:04 am

westford

how are you connected? phone line, dsl, cable?

3:04 am

jillibus

well, it came back, so that's good.

3:05 am

westford

a few years ago we didn't have internet and now we'd be lost without it

3:05 am

jillibus

oh-- crossy can be doubly happy -- I think ga6/30 is a form of ba5/16

3:06 am

VolleymomDee

wow jili ty for both those ... keep em coming... didn't have those

3:06 am

westford

looking ..don't have the ga6

3:09 am

jillibus

I have an elderly friend who only recently was given a TV and has no idea how useful a computer is. She phoned yesterday so pleased that she had found some info about a plant I'd mentioned in a book her "mamma" had owned -- and of course there was much more info available via Google but she had no clue about that. I thanked her politely and didn't let on. She's younger than I am, btw, but lives in the 19th century.

3:09 am

VolleymomDee

funny how some folks are like that

3:10 am

jillibus

she didn't even want the TV -- perfectly happy with the radio, and I think only listens to the CBC.

3:11 am

westford

my mother has been using the computer for years her younger sister just got on line but still doesn't have the hang of it..too bad because my mother can't talk on the phone and auntie has trouble walking

3:11 am

westford

could have been a great way for them to keep in touch

3:12 am

jillibus

well, maybe the younger sister will get the hang of it

3:12 am

westford

I hope so

3:12 am

jillibus

recruit some teenagers to show her!

3:12 am

VolleymomDee

3:20 am

jillibus

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

3:23 am

westford

3/4 of our state was under water last week and in a few days it's supposed to be in the 80's

3:23 am

jillibus

3:24 am

westford

3:24 am

jillibus

3:25 am

westford

I think we're talking about CA

3:25 am

westford

3:25 am

jillibus

or FL or HK maybe

3:26 am

westford

FL can get awfully hot

3:27 am

jillibus

so can HK (Hong Kong)

3:28 am

jillibus

but if Key West or something gets hot you can just hop into the sea and cool off or have a pool (and a cabana boy)

3:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up! sorry for the delay

3:29 am

westford

I was never as hot in Key West as in Orlando

3:41 am

Haz1558

be9 - the reaction of babblers when Lickety isn't available for a 400+ grid.

3:41 am

VolleymomDee

lol found it!!!

3:41 am

Haz1558

Being a slightly negative emotional reaction.

3:41 am

VolleymomDee

and sooo true

3:42 am

jillibus

I'm too sleep to go on now -- busy tomorrow -- hoped I could get halfway tonight but the late start prevented that.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

3:42 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:42 am

jillibus

3:42 am

3:44 am

rubyfoo

jumping in!

3:45 am

jillibus

haen't got the be8 though :(

3:45 am

Haz1558

Don't forget to break it down (the be9), you'll get quite a few words from it.

3:45 am

Haz1558

be8 - the purpose of a christening ceremony.

3:45 am

westford

if you got a new puppy you might be......it

3:46 am

westford

or what haz said lol

3:47 am

jillibus

3:47 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, jillibus.

3:47 am

VolleymomDee

ty haz had forgotten the be 6,36

3:49 am

Haz1558

No problem.

3:51 am

hurshy

haz, you're sensible. do you ever have dreams and then when you wake up, no matter how much rational stuff you tell yourself, they continue to affect you emotionally?

3:52 am

jillibus

hello, hursh -- I've had that

3:52 am

rubyfoo

hurshy, do you remember many of your dreams?

3:52 am

Haz1558

Yes, I do. But eventually I manage to convince myself that it was a dream.

3:52 am

hurshy

that makes me feel better. thanks.

3:53 am

hurshy

yes ruby, rather. in fact i take sleeping meds and without them sometimes it feels like i'm just costantly dreaming... the meds tone it down.

3:53 am

Haz1558

It's amazing just how much dreams can affect you. There are times when I'm pleased to waken up.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

sometimes the sad ones linger but other times th wonderful ones do, too.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I take Xanax at night to assuage the free-floating angst and it gives me wonderful dream, frequently "starring" TV actors

3:54 am

hurshy

i have an easier time with the ones that make me feel pleased to wake up than the ones that make me feel like i wish i hadn't woken up.

3:54 am

Haz1558

The strangest dreams I ever had was when I was taking anti-malarial drugs. One dream that stood out was my fury that a shop wouldn't sell me a crossstitch kit.

3:54 am

jillibus

Hooray!! Halfway plus!!! Now I can go to bed :)

3:54 am

rubyfoo

sometimes I try to go back to sleep to re-capture the dream

3:54 am

hurshy

lol!!!!

3:54 am

Haz1558

And babblers who know me will realise just how mad THAT was.

3:55 am

lynxxx

what a nightmare Haz!

3:55 am

lynxxx

Hello all

3:55 am

hurshy

good job jilli - have a good dreamless sleep

3:55 am

3:55 am

rubyfoo

hello jilli

3:55 am

lynxxx

'night Jilli

3:55 am

Haz1558

It really was, lynxxx. It was a picture of an elephant, I could see clearly that my name was beside it on a reserved sticker, and they wouldn't sell it to me.

3:55 am

jillibus

Thanks, and maybe I can dream of George Clooney?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

and sweet dreams!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxxxx

3:56 am

3:57 am

Haz1558

No need to ask about George Eads.

3:57 am

lynxxx

hi West! was it you who was flooding?

3:57 am

Haz1558

He has a wonderful mind.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

3:57 am

westford

3:57 am

rubyfoo

raofl

3:59 am

rubyfoo

a couple of nights ago I dreamt about a boyfriend from about 30 yrs ago. How weird is that?

3:59 am

Haz1558

It fascinates me that so much memory is kept stored in your brain - things you thought you had forgotten.

4:00 am

hurshy

not weird - that's the kind i just woke up from

4:00 am

rubyfoo

or not!

4:00 am

rubyfoo

it was actually very pleasant!

4:03 am

Soodlebum

I am totally failing to get that be9, despite some clearly wonderful clues....

4:04 am

westford

might go with gnashing of teeth sood

4:04 am

rubyfoo

complaining about no lists!

4:04 am

Haz1558

be plus a word that describes the sort of noise people make when they're extremely sad about something.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

how do you feel, soodle, still swollen?

4:04 am

VolleymomDee

ruby lickety is up

4:04 am

Soodlebum

Just as I typed I got it. Thank you all>

4:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I never use lickety, that's why my results are always incomplete! just lazy

4:05 am

Soodlebum

Still swollen, but no pain..... Dental appointment at 4.30!

4:06 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid!

4:06 am

Haz1558

I suppose you're talking root canal treatment, unless it's in a place where it could be extracted without missing it?

4:06 am

Soodlebum

Thank goodness it is right at the back, Haz - and it will be gone by about 4.45!! Never to give me grief again.

4:08 am

Haz1558

Great! I had a similar situation, though without the pain, it was just the start of an abcess on a crowned tooth. Dentist took it out, and investigated later to find that the root was as crooked as could be and would have been impossible to work with.

4:09 am

Soodlebum

Best be off and do stuff. Thanks for the clues. Bye

4:09 am

Haz1558

Bye, Soodle, all the best for this afternoon.

4:09 am

4:29 am

rubyfoo

luckily I have dogs for all that love to lavish

4:31 am

Flask1

Yes I feel very blessed...and proud....I think it its very sad when people choose not to have children at all!!!

4:31 am

Flask1

Not just for them, but for the extended family too!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

she is an ardent vegetarian and I think worries about global issues and also comes from a huge, poor family

4:32 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, I shouldn't talk about that in the chog, not private enough *PB for me*

4:33 am

Flask1

thats a shame Rubyfoo......pets fill a hole, but not quite the same, am afraid!

Hello Haz, have only just arrived and am contemplating the grid.
Lovely day here :)

Hi ursh

phantom "warbling'

5:32 am

Haz1558

Hello FM. Not so nice here, unfortunately, but you should enjoy the grid. It's a bit tougher than yesterday, I think, but still fun.

5:32 am

FMitch

lol corssy (())

5:32 am

crosshair

((FM))

5:33 am

FMitch

Oh shame HAz, I have windows open and a short sleeved top on.

5:33 am

crosshair

lots of nice words with same ending though

5:33 am

FMitch

you'd think I could spell yr name right by now crossy!

5:33 am

Haz1558

It's raining merrily here. I suppose it's good for the grass.

5:33 am

crosshair

lol not to worry

5:35 am

FMitch

Will send you some of our sun for the morrrow.

5:35 am

crosshair

crossy is loving all the nice big words ending in ing

5:35 am

Haz1558

Excellent!

5:37 am

Merk

Good Morning! How is today's grid?

5:38 am

crosshair

lov ING it:)

5:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Merk.

5:39 am

Merk

really ... that hasn't hit me yet. I loved earlier ones, but I'm not 'into' this one yet.

5:39 am

Haz1558

The grid is a little tougher than yesterday, in that there are more unusual words, but it's still fun.

Just two strips to do - one above the door, of about nine inches, the other at the side of the washing machine. Otherwise, the only other thing to do is to change the light but that may involve an electrician - still waiting for husband to test out how complicated it is.

5:48 am

FMitch

my messages are disappearing :( either that or there is a lag issue with the log.

5:48 am

Haz1558

crossy, this particular wallpaper was a nightmare to match. A drop of 21 inches and a tiny pattern that deceived you into thinking you had got it and then, wham, it's out further down.

5:49 am

Haz1558

The annoying thing is that once up, everyone thinks it's a no-match wallpaper. But I am pleased with it.

5:49 am

FMitch

Ah there we are, it was lag.
You do enjoy a challenge dear!

5:50 am

Haz1558

As long as it doesn't involve sewing!

5:50 am

FMitch

you can come to me for that.

5:51 am

FMitch

bater and utilising talents has worked for centuries :)

5:51 am

Haz1558

I know.

5:52 am

Haz1558

I'm wondering how long it will take crossy to spot his favourite food in the grid.

5:52 am

FMitch

oh good point, guess he hasn't spotted it yet.

5:52 am

Merk

Hi FMitch ... had my nose in the grid

5:53 am

FMitch

np Merk :)

5:55 am

crosshair

CROSSY SEES BACON!

5:55 am

Haz1558

FMitch

5:55 am

crosshair

,,,lol,,off i go

5:56 am

FMitch

you can cook us up a batch of something tasty whilst you are in there .

5:56 am

crosshair

lost myself there for a moment

5:56 am

Haz1558

Was that entrapment, do you think?

5:57 am

FMitch

We understand crossy, you were overcome with the moment *grin*
Shhh Haz ;)

5:57 am

5:58 am

Merk

You know how once in a great while a grid just hits you wrong, rubs you the wrong way. I'm afraid that is today for me.

5:58 am

Merk

I can't get my 'a' tiles filled in.

5:58 am

FMitch

Oh I wish crossy buttoday salad Nicoise is on the menu here.

5:59 am

Merk

It's just clicking for me today.

5:59 am

FMitch

Talking of food I think I will have to go and get some as missed breakfast this morning.

Know what you mean Merk, it does happen from time to time.

6:12 am

Trifioso

Haz1558

Yes?

6:13 am

Trifioso

I was chatting on here the other morning, particularly with Nancy Boy, and GUESS WHO popped in to the chog? None other than our most notorious Englishman! I about fainted.

Haz1558

It was something that happened a while back, it caused major upset at the time.

6:19 am

the ladies rein me in if i get carried away

6:19 am

Trifioso

dateline, Norwell - Primo is on a field trip today, learning how to bl4 glass with his art class. doesn't that sound cool?

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I think I just got a spider bite, in the house, before I went in the garden

6:19 am

rubyfoo

very cool

6:20 am

Trifioso

oh, ruby, watch that carefully! I got so sick from a spider bite once, I was in hospital x 2 days!

6:20 am

rubyfoo

I used to live about 1 1/2 hrs from Corning, so got to see their blown glass both in process and in the museum. It is a beautiful but slightly scary art form!

6:20 am

rubyfoo

what kind of spider as it, do you know?

6:21 am

Trifioso

I think as long as he remembers not to inhale, he'll be okay. Seriously, inhaling that wicked hot air can do you a mischief.

6:21 am

Trifioso

I don't know exactly, but judging from the reaction at the site and my illness, they are guessing a brown recluse

6:21 am

Riverdance

I guess no one heard me - Good Morning Everyone

6:21 am

rubyfoo

my finger is changing color but the itching has stopped and it just hurts a little!

6:21 am

Trifioso

good morning mom!!!

6:22 am

Haz1558

Hello, Mom!

6:22 am

Riverdance

thats better

6:22 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, we don't have those here. But I think that all spiders bite, even the beautiful ones we have here

6:22 am

Trifioso

do you have any antihistamine in the house?

6:22 am

Riverdance

everyone is quite chipper this morning

6:22 am

rubyfoo

hi mom

6:22 am

rubyfoo

this is a lovely grid; I actually just reached half!!

6:22 am

Riverdance

spiders are beautiful???

6:23 am

Haz1558

I'm heading off now. Enjoy the day and the grid. Bye!

6:23 am

Trifioso

bye haz, and have a lovely day

6:23 am

rubyfoo

yes, I think I'll take some. I also keep an adrenaline shot in the fridge because I have a lot of allergies (more every year), and a couple are serious

6:23 am

Riverdance

bye haz - have a great day

6:23 am

crosshair

just itching to seize the day,im sure to cause a riot before the day is out;)

6:23 am

Haz1558

Bye! *gone*

6:24 am

rubyfoo

there is a European garden spider, Argiope, which has yellow, white, brown, black and orange in stripes and spots. Some years the females get really big and I feed them flies. The indoors spiders are not pretty, don't make webs, jump, and I squish them!

6:24 am

Riverdance

got doctors appt this morning - after that I can seize as well

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Hi herin

6:27 am

crosshair

i read about a lawyer,he ad a dr appt and due to sceduling mistake he ended up waiting 2 hours before they called his appt.so he did what any lawyer would do and billed the doctors office for his 2 hours lost

6:27 am

Trifioso

isn't paba a word? The stuff in coconuts or pineapples, or sunscreen?

6:27 am

rubyfoo

yes, but maybe it's an acronym.....

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I tried it, too

6:28 am

crosshair

it is indeed

6:28 am

rubyfoo

and elbow is a nice little phantom

6:28 am

Trifioso

sigh. why do I ever expect enable to make sense?

6:28 am

Riverdance

how did it work ruby

6:28 am

herinfernallady

net is shiffty sorry

6:28 am

rubyfoo

which, mom?

6:29 am

Trifioso

all my phantoms have -ble at the end - marbling, warbling, etc.

6:29 am

Riverdance

whatever it is you are talking about

6:29 am

Trifioso

and I keep trying "million"

6:29 am

crosshair

thats cause there are so many good words with the ing today;)

6:29 am

rubyfoo

or ingle

6:29 am

rubyfoo

hoping enable will look away for an instand

6:29 am

rubyfoo

instant* can't type today

6:30 am

Trifioso

bus stop shuffle -- back in a few!

6:30 am

rubyfoo

the antihistamine is two flights awya, if that is what you mean, and when I take a break, I'll trek on up

6:31 am

crosshair

if you feel faint,take 3 shots of whiskey,tie a rope around your arm and dial the emerg for a pick up:)

6:32 am

rubyfoo

my sole exercise is stairs; I must go up and down 50 flights a day!

6:33 am

rubyfoo

the only thing poisonous here is vipers, but I've not seen one. I learned on Sunday that the local foxes come into my next door neighbor's yard IN THE DAYTIME! Isn't that wonderful?

6:34 am

crosshair

we are good here in that regard.i do not envy our aussie friends though.all those little deadly spider and snakes

6:35 am

crosshair

we get lots of foxes ruby,but you are right.if we see one in the daytime,we know there is a problem

6:35 am

crosshair

last one we saw moving around in mid day had rabies

6:35 am

rubyfoo

why is that a problem?

6:36 am

crosshair

the normally do not roam in mid day

6:36 am

rubyfoo

no kidding! my housekeeper said that, but I thought she was being a bit extreme! Another neighbor feeds them abats from the local abattoir!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I think they're pretty tame.

6:37 am

crosshair

your hosekeeper is right

6:37 am

crosshair

its like trying to feed wild racoons or bats,all carry the potential for rabies

6:37 am

rubyfoo

there is also a kind of big snake here, called a coulouvre (or something) but it's harmless and I've never seen one, either. Lots of lovely little lizards, though

6:38 am

crosshair

play with the lizards instead

6:38 am

rubyfoo

and there are bats in the cliffs who come down to our fishpond at dusk, lovely little black butterfly-looking creatures

6:38 am

crosshair

best bug remover ever;)

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I suppose they could have rabies, too, tho I never thought of it. One came in the house, but I encouraged it to leave without hurting it (while husband hid in another room)

6:39 am

crosshair

each one can eat its own weight in bugs every night

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I love bats and they eat more than their body weight in insects per day!

6:40 am

crosshair

snap

6:40 am

rubyfoo

too funny, crossy, we must read the same books

6:40 am

crosshair

too many national geographic magazines as a child

6:40 am

rubyfoo

me too

6:40 am

crosshair

and no,i was not looking for the african stories

6:40 am

rubyfoo

and then there's the Bat Conservancy....

6:41 am

rubyfoo

based in Austin where my son lives. There are millions of bats there, living under the main bridge downtown, and as much as I like bats, seeing millions come out at dusk is too much even for me!

6:42 am

rubyfoo

must go, see you later. Very nice chatting with you crossy!

6:42 am

crosshair

my mrs loses her mind when we get a bat in the house

6:42 am

crosshair

tc ruby

6:43 am

rubyfoo

my husband, too. He also gets freaked out when birds wander in but I can usually catch them, inspect them and then carry them outside. I can make them relax in my hand

6:44 am

crosshair

i try not to hold the birds too long,they tend to die in my hands

6:48 am

Trifioso

hey all. back. I am a BIG fan of bats, but not in the house. Outdoors only, please

6:50 am

Boobear

hi all

6:50 am

Trifioso

hey boo!

6:51 am

crosshair

howdy boo

6:51 am

Trifioso

crossy, was just catching up in the chog - do you really have that problem with birds, or was that a Steinbeck reference?

6:51 am

Boobear

hey Crossy

6:52 am

crosshair

i have 1 or 2 barn swallows in the house a while ago

6:52 am

crosshair

and yes,i have had one die of a heart attack in my hands

6:52 am

crosshair

i use a fishing net nowadays

6:53 am

Trifioso

oh, okay. When we were more active in horse riding, I used to try to save all the little birds that fell out of nests in the barn. Never turned out well. I am starting to really believe the mommas chucked them out, as they could somehow sense they were incompatible with life

6:54 am

crosshair

once they smell your human smell on the babies,it is all over,wife has had some success if she wears no perfumes and uses garden gloves

6:54 am

rubyfoo

birds crash into the kitchen window all the time and one little guy lost his wife that way; she broke her neck and died. For two years after, he would walk into my kitchen looking for her and I would help him make his way back out

6:54 am

Trifioso

I wouldn't put them back in the nests, we would bring them home and try to nurse them here

6:55 am

crosshair

we used to have the window problem and we solved it py placing a few butterfly stickers on the window

6:55 am

lynxxx

oh Ruby - you are such a romantic

6:55 am

lynxxx

hi Trif & Cross

6:55 am

Trifioso

we did have a lovely little sparrow we named Captain Jack for about two weeks, and when he died I was inconsolable

6:55 am

Trifioso

hello lynxxx!

6:55 am

crosshair

howdy lynxx

6:55 am

rubyfoo

usually I wear thin latex gloves because I know that birds can have lice (eeewww) but otherwise, I've never had one die in my hands.

6:56 am

rubyfoo

and getting a good look at them is wonderful, especially since these are all new species for me

6:56 am

rubyfoo

I have, however, disposed of dead ones I've found, but inspect them first also.

6:57 am

crosshair

here we have to inspect all dead crows in springtime and report them

6:57 am

lynxxx

do you draw them Ruby?

6:57 am

Trifioso

do you have to report dead birds you find on your property to the local council?

6:57 am

Trifioso

just crows, crossy?

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I used to draw owls and sell them when I was still exhibiting, but not from life. Usually from photographs or old lithographs

6:58 am

crosshair

just crows

6:58 am

Trifioso

there is an owl you can watch nesting on line, I think...Molly the owl, maybe?

6:58 am

rubyfoo

I have tried photographing these birds, but no success so far.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

should I Google molly/owl or something?

6:59 am

Trifioso

yes, here it is: http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I sent owlady a photo of an old drawing I did, the only one I kept for myself, but I couldn't get the photo into my icon

7:00 am

rubyfoo

ty trif, I'll try that a little later

7:01 am

Trifioso

sweet jesus! owl chicks are UGLY

7:02 am

crosshair

lol,ever hear baby pandas scream? they can turn the momma right off lol

7:02 am

rubyfoo

there's a book called Wesley the Owl with photos of Wesley when he was a virtually hairless baby. Worse than baby mice!

7:06 am

crosshair

7:08 am

NonoNanette

my front garden is a mass of white, yellow and purple crocus

7:09 am

Trifioso

I have probably told you this before, but I can't help repeating, it is so beautiful! We ha a great story in the local paper here about a woman who lost her husband unexpectedly in January. Come April, a heart shaped garden of tulips appeared on her front lawn -- he had planted them back in the fall as a spring surprise for her. She said it was like a valentine from heaven....

7:09 am

crosshair

awww

7:09 am

NonoNanette

oh my Trif, what a sweet story

7:10 am

Trifioso

7:10 am

rubyfoo

don't think that could happen around here....

7:12 am

rubyfoo

the garden, to change the sasd subject, is all in shades of salmon, pink, red, violet and blue with just a little bit of white. I designed it very carefully, but all from books, because it is my first garden.

7:12 am

Trifioso

wow, ruby, nice palette! well done you!

7:12 am

rubyfoo

the house is light salmon with burgundy shutters

7:13 am

crosshair

and i thought my wife was bad for matching everything in the house,never mind all the nature out of the house lol

7:13 am

rubyfoo

there was no garden to speak of when we bought the house and I planted (not myself, of course, 15 trees, many of them fruit, plus innumerable fruit-bearing and flowering shrubs and little everygreens.

7:13 am

herinfernallady

7:15 am

rubyfoo

just now and then some formerly-tiny shrub grows monstrous and has to be removed

7:15 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to tell when you select plants from photographs

7:16 am

Trifioso

harrumph. I have to leave for work soon. (whispers) I don't like my first student today - he is a handful and it is always 60 minutes of pleading and redirection to get him to do ANY thing....)

7:16 am

rubyfoo

7:17 am

I found out this noon that there are 2 very serious things wrong with our car and 1 semi-minor thing

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

yikes serious like dangerous to drive? or dangerous to drive long distance?

4:20 pm

Nef

well, the catalitic converter is serious to the environment, the sub frame may fail any day; and I don't know what happens if you don't have a lugnut on a wheel

4:21 pm

Phoenixbaby

lugnut is easy fix

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

sheesh you put a 50 cent lug nut on a wheel

4:21 pm

Phoenixbaby

depending on yr of car, catalitic converter may not even be necessary (like to be legal)

4:21 pm

Nef

(and I don't know what a sub frame or catalytic converter do; but the mechanic said it's going to take lots of time

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

I would drive it until it stopped while looking for a car i wanted and could afford

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

don't get them fixed if the cost is more than the value of the car nef

4:22 pm

jmcnrick

that is how i got my saab

4:22 pm

Nef

nope the bolt is stripped. the previous guys messed it up and it won't go on any more

4:23 pm

Nancy Boy

evening all...time for the first of two breaks this evening

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

well if it is just one of five lug nuts it is not great but it is also not a crisis

4:23 pm

jmcnrick

hi NB

4:23 pm

Is there only one lug nut missing? (are there supposed to be 5 on yours?)

mine fell apart once, Nef. it was the best party i ever went to

4:28 pm

Uneaixoise

Nef, I can certainly sympathize -- right around Xmas I had to replace the battery, the alternator, and some belts PLUS my microwave died!

4:28 pm

Uneaixoise

I hate cars! LOL

4:28 pm

Nef

I don't know much about cars; but I know enough to take it in. AND that when the mechanic looks worried and said it's serious (at the dealership) -that's bad

4:30 pm

Phoenixbaby

don't ever take it to a dealership. They'll rape you

4:30 pm

Nancy Boy

I can't abide with them - when mine packed in, finally, we used it like a sledge - pushing it up hills, all piling in then rolling down. very irresponsible. lots of fun though.

4:30 pm

jmcnrick

well there is the first mistake i never take my car to the dealer unless it is under warrantee

4:30 pm

Uneaixoise

excellent, NB!!! LOL

4:30 pm

Nef

I had to take it to the dealership. There was a recall on the sub frame. And of course ours is failing. :-/

4:31 pm

Jayk

Unless you live in some really strange place

4:31 pm

Got it. Thanks

4:31 pm

jmcnrick

if there is a recall they have to fix it at no cost to you. assume the rest is BS they are telling you to get teh money to make up for the cost of fixing it

4:32 pm

Nef

I usually go through AAA certified repair shops or Angie's list for help.

4:32 pm

Jayk

Toyota dealership tried to rip me off to the tune of $7000--thank God for Toyoteachs!

4:33 pm

Jayk

what a necessary evil cars are! especially if you're a woman and know zilch--yes, sexist statement

4:33 pm

Nef

the catalytic converter and lug nut I knew about before I went. My usual mechanic (a friend of my son's who's a certified mechanic) had just told me all of that last evening

4:34 pm

Nancy Boy

oh no jayk. I, too, know zilch.

4:34 pm

the car is a 2002 sedan with 120,000 miles on it. I'm a member of an environmentalist community group (so can't ignore the catalytic converter!); and it's becoming clear to us that DH needs to use his handicapped scooter more. It's a PIA to take the scooter apart and lift it in and out of the car, and we are planning a trip to Montana this summer and hopingI could drive this car there. It isn't going to make it now

I am ba 7/44 out on this grid now,but here's story of clues with some of the words I got so far.When I got home I asked myself if I should be 5/18 babbling with such a big grid. I be 5/18 babbling anyway, although I should have paid some bi 5/14 instead.Even though the grid was big, it didn't put me through the mi 4/5 and it didn't make me mo4/5 & groan like some grids Another grid unfinished; I bl 4/10 my rankings again. My rank has been bl 5/22 for a long time. My job and hubby are not en8/60 me to finish many grids.Hubby makes many gl 4/8 remarks about babble. Hubby is a pa4/4 in the arse whenever I Babble.Babble does not bring a gl 4/10 to his face like mine. He has a bad im 5/16 of Babble and wi4/8 not wa4/9 up to it.He isn't even wi 7/52 to give it a try. He doesn't understand the ma 4/5 concept of Babble. Well I'm no way ne4/4 done with the puzzle, but I'm not bothering to finish because my brain is starting to sl 4/8 down. I wi 4/8 wr 4/9 up this story of clues by saying goodnight to everyone.Enjoy the rest of your nite. See ya manana

7:34 pm

7:34 pm

Good night Min. Great story. I hope the part about your husband's attitude is just a work of fiction to create the clues.

worse than grim. other districts are cutting back, positions are not being advertised, and honestly with the economic climate the NJ schools are in now, NO one will hire a 60 year old at this point. and i'm only certified to work within schools

Barb's Horses

11:46 pm

11:46 pm

cybernan

hello everyone - back for the flip :)

11:46 pm

pippingeek

we'll see if the cameras pick up anything and if it's someone they can get it back from... doubtful

11:46 pm

Barb's Horses

hi nan

11:46 pm

Bugsaw

and Barb is right, their sin will always find them out even if it takes years

11:47 pm

Barb's Horses

can I ask a small favor of everyone tonight

11:48 pm

gremlinn

hi nan, pippin

11:48 pm

Bugsaw

surely Barb

11:49 pm

Barb's Horses

my husband is going for a CatScan tomorrow...this is his 3 year of a recheck on his cancer...we are hoping it is still gone...just thoughts or prayers if you are so inclined that all goes well...there is one lymph node they are watching closely

11:50 pm

joey

my good thoughts are going out to you right now. i am very empathetic. had to see the oncologist today

11:50 pm

Barb's Horses

they will watch him for 5 years...although they will never class him as cured as there is no cure for gallbladder cancer. Just hoping it never travels anywhere else

11:50 pm

gremlinn

sorry to hear about your trouble, pippin

11:50 pm

gremlinn

I hope all goes well, Barb

11:50 pm

Bugsaw

I am honoured to be included as one of the people on his side. I asked for Babble people for prayers when my severely disabled nephew nearly died of Swine flu and that was the day he began to recover!

11:51 pm

Barb's Horses

is everything ok Joey? should we put you in our thoughts too?

11:51 pm

Barb's Horses

thanks grem

11:51 pm

joey

last word, en 8...... please.

11:51 pm

Barb's Horses

thanks joey thanks all

11:51 pm

gremlinn

en8 - making functional

11:51 pm

Bugsaw

Yes joey, I have not had an update from you lately

11:52 pm

joey

not yet, Barb. i am having a problem with my hormone levels and haven't been able to start on an after cancer care program because they can't figure out what i should be on. my lymphedema is more or less under control, now if I could only get my strength and stamina back and the bad taste out of my mouth. my feet still hurt, but other than that i am great!!!

11:53 pm

joey

gremlin, sorry, doesn't do it for me.

11:53 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Barb's Horses, prayers will be said for him and your family. The energies that this group of people has is awsome.

11:53 pm

Bugsaw

our thots and prayers are with you too joey.

11:54 pm

Barb's Horses

yes joey hoping the figure it all out soon. I know what it is like to be tired all the time too

11:54 pm

joey

oh, never mind, i got it. firewords for me.

11:54 pm

Bugsaw

en 8 ends in gerund and means to help someone too much

11:55 pm

Bugsaw

YAY joey!

11:55 pm

Barb's Horses

thanks gape...it is so nice just to have people to bounce things off ....so to speak

11:55 pm

Barb's Horses

yeah joey

11:55 pm

joey

i am having a bit of fun with it, the next thing i have to do is see an infertility specialist. he is also an endocrinologist.

11:55 pm

Barb's Horses

think I will just wait for the flip

11:56 pm

pippingeek

yeah, sometimes you just need people around you can just say the stuff to

11:56 pm

cybernan

en 8 -- someone suggested that it is what the babble dictionary does -- personally, I think that clue should have a 'dis' in front of it

11:56 pm

Bugsaw

those guys can be good joey, even if you don't want to get pregnant

11:56 pm

gremlinn

I thought of cluing it that way, but not everyone knows what the dictionary name is

11:57 pm

Barb's Horses

for me that is very true pippin...I always do better when I talk out my thoughts

11:57 pm

pippingeek

not gonna bother with the flip, just need some sleep. did i mention i worked 64 hours last week?

11:57 pm

cybernan

wow -- long week, pip

11:57 pm

Bugsaw

I thot it was funny that a man would see the positive side of the word and woman saw the downside definition. :)

11:57 pm

Barb's Horses

oh my get some rest pippin...mabye see you tomorrow

11:57 pm

gremlinn

must be looking forward to some time off!

11:58 pm

pippingeek

i would be more excited about my time off if i could actually keep my money

11:59 pm

Bugsaw

next time you will put it in your bra pippin

11:59 pm

pippingeek

and i don't know how long i'm going to be out of work, s it's a little scary. but i'll work it out, in the grand scheme of things this is a fraction of the moey i have sved

12:00 am

pippingeek

my friend mentioned that, but after the first martini i have a tendency to lose the bra! apparently i need a better hiding spot...:)
